We are back on the TT market and are shopping with another couple who are looking at the same campers we are. They are dead set on buying a camper before the 1st of the year. Is this a good time to get the best price on a new camper? When we go to the dealerships it seems like there are relatively few customers in the showrooms.

There are so many variables it's not possible to judge when to buy the one you want. I would not buy one that was dragged over salt covered roads, so that may be a problem at this time of year. No, they can't ever wash out all the salt.

If you're a good negotiator and are able to walk away from a sale you're not satisfied with, then most anytime is a good time to buy.

winter time for summer toys ... & summer time for winter toys .. is what I do. Campers, motorcycles... etc.in Ohio and South Carolina.. the dealer lots are Packed FULL of New Campers, trailers, 5th Wheelers and motor homes.been sitting for a couple of months. and being a Warm Fall season, No salt...

The best time to buy is when you want something andyou can afford it. If you can't afford it or you don't want it that would not be the right time.

Right now is an excellent time to buy IF you find what you want. End of the year is the offseason for most RV dealers and we all would love to sell one or two more before its over.
